This week we watched a demonstration with the wonderful Gisela Marti, the creative director for Tammy Taylor Nails. I was so excited to finally have a formal introduction to a brand and product line that I see so many nail technicians are committed to using.

Tammy Taylor creates a gel dotting technique for a beautiful marbling effect with a lot of control, so you can determine how much or how little marbling you want."I also like how you can use any combination of colors, and how it looks similar to a lacy pattern; making the technique really versatile. You can use it all by itself or as a background in many designs," Taylor says.

Tammy Taylor demonstrates the "Take Me to the Big City" nail design using a marbling technique, or what she calls an "organized chaos technique."

"What I like about this technique is every nail turns out unique so no two nails are alike. A great way to incorporate this design into your nails is, use only one of the colors as the main color on eight nails, either for the whole nail or just the free-edge and then create two accent nails using this main color and then adding two to five more colors for marbling," Taylor says.

Tammy Taylor shows how to do fill-ins and repairs with color acrylic using Cashmere, a light Prizma Acrylic. "The only difference when doing fill-ins on Dazzle Rock's Prizma Acrylic, Dark Color Acrylic or Bright Color Acrylic is you will add one ball of clear acrylic over the top to seal these types of colors," she says.
